The 14th Black Pullet ring: destroying enemies, and what that work actually asks of you

A ring from a grimoire, not a piece of costume jewellery

The Black Pullet is a grimoire with its own set of rings and talismans, and the pieces in this line are made in that tradition: each one hand made with the proper materials, by hand, for a named purpose. This article is about one of them, the 14th Black Pullet ring, whose purpose is stated in its title in plain words: destroy enemies.

That bluntness is worth pausing over. A grimoire ring is not a vague good-luck charm. It is a tool made for a particular kind of work, and the work named here is adversarial work. Before you consider wearing or carrying such a ring, you should be able to say, in one clear sentence, what the enmity actually is. Is it a person actively working against you? Is it a situation that keeps undermining you? Is it a pattern of interference that returns no matter what you do in the ordinary world? Those are different problems, and they call for different petitions, even when they share one ring.

Specificity is not a formality here. It is how you keep the work aimed at the right thing. A vague petition — harm to whoever, whenever — tends to produce vague results that are hard to read afterwards, and harder still to learn from. Write the situation down before you do anything else. Leave it overnight. Come back and see whether it still reads true when you are calm.

Why a ring, and why hand made

A ring is worn, and that is the point. Unlike a talisman kept on an altar, a ring goes where you go. It is on your hand when you speak, when you sign, when you shake hands, when you work. In the Black Pullet line, that everyday presence is part of the design: the ring is not put away between workings, it is carried through ordinary life, and the work travels with it.

The way these rings are made matters to that design. Athena's note for this line is that the designs are hand engraved right into the wax used to create the rings, and that she does not use an engraving machine for this, since it would take away much of the magic. That is a statement about method, not about appearance. A machine can cut a cleaner line. A hand cannot, and that is not the point. The point is that a human hand formed the design, slowly, with attention, in the same way the older grimoire work was done. When you wear the ring, you are wearing something that was shaped by a person, not stamped out.

That also means no two will look exactly alike. If you want an identical copy of a photograph, this is not that kind of product. If you want a hand made ring, made for the purpose named in its title, that difference is the whole point.

What "destroy enemies" can mean in practice

People hear the word destroy and picture one thing. In practice, adversarial work covers a wider range than that picture allows, and it is worth sorting out which one you actually mean before you begin.

Sometimes destroying an enemy means ending their power over a situation: a campaign against you stops, a false claim falls apart, an interference loses its footing. Sometimes it means a relationship ending cleanly, instead of dragging on in hostility. Sometimes it means protection so thorough that the enemy's efforts simply do not land. And sometimes, frankly, it means what it says, in the plain sense of the grimoire's language. These are not interchangeable aims, and a working aimed at one of them will not necessarily serve another.

That is why the first part of this work is not ritual at all. It is honesty about the situation. Ask yourself what outcome, stated plainly, would actually settle the matter. Ask yourself what you have already tried in the ordinary world, and whether there is an ordinary step — a boundary, a refusal, a legal or practical action — that still needs taking. Ritual work is not a substitute for that step. It sits alongside it, and it works best when the ordinary ground has already been covered.

It is also worth asking whether the enemy is a person at all. Sometimes the thing working against you is a habit, a set of circumstances, or a pattern you keep repeating. Naming that honestly changes the petition, and it changes what you should expect to see afterwards. A ring aimed at a person, when the real problem is a pattern, will not do the work you actually need done.

Preparing to work with an adversarial ring

Preparation for this kind of work starts with the same basics as any other serious working: a clear head, a clean space, and a petition you have already written down and slept on. Do not begin an adversarial working in the heat of the moment, if you can avoid it. Anger passes, and a working done while you are still shaking often reads, afterwards, as something you wish you had phrased differently. Wait until you can state the matter calmly, even if the matter itself is serious.

When you first receive the ring, take time with it before you wear it into a charged situation. Hold it. Look at the design. Put it on and wear it around the house first, in ordinary circumstances, so that wearing it becomes normal before it becomes part of a working. A tool you have only just unwrapped is not yet part of your practice. A tool you have lived with for a few days is.

Think, too, about how you will work with the ring in the ways this site describes for seals generally: holding it, putting it under a candle, putting oil on it, carrying it with you, wearing it as a pendant or, in this case, as a ring, and showing it to the desired person where that is appropriate to your practice. A ring lends itself to all of these except the pendant form, and the simplest of them — wearing it, deliberately, with the purpose in mind — is often the most honest starting point. You do not need an elaborate ceremony to begin. You need a clear purpose, a ring made for that purpose, and the willingness to notice what changes.

Working with the ring day to day

Once the ring is part of your daily wear, the work becomes less about single dramatic workings and more about steady attention. Wear it when you deal with the situation in question. Take it off, or set it aside, when you want a clear break from that work, so that the ring keeps its association with the purpose rather than becoming background noise. That on-and-off rhythm is a small discipline, and small disciplines are what keep a working legible over weeks rather than days.

If you work with candles, you can place the ring under a candle for a working, as you would a seal, and let the candle burn in the course of that working. If you work with oils, you can put oil on the ring itself, where that fits your practice and the material of the ring allows it. If you work more simply, holding the ring and stating your purpose, in your own words, before you go into a difficult meeting or confrontation, is a complete working in itself. There is no single correct form here. There is the form your practice already uses, applied consistently.

What matters, across all of those forms, is that you keep the purpose in front of you. A ring worn without attention becomes jewellery. A ring worn with attention becomes a reminder, several times a day, of the boundary you are holding or the outcome you are working towards. That reminder is not decoration. It is how the work stays present in ordinary life, where the situation actually unfolds.

Keeping a record, and knowing what to look for

Keep a short record for this work: the date you began wearing the ring, the purpose in one sentence, what you did on the days you worked with it deliberately, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the first night. Note changes in the situation itself, not only changes in how you felt. Did the interference stop? Did the person withdraw? Did the situation resolve in a way you did not predict? Did nothing change at all?

Nothing changing is also information. It may mean the petition was unclear, the timing was wrong, the work was not appropriate to the situation, or simply that the situation needs a different approach, ordinary or magical. Do not repeat the same working endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Do the work properly, observe, and then decide, calmly, whether a second working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step. Repetition without reflection is not persistence. It is noise.

And be careful about how you read results. Adversarial situations are emotional, and it is easy to credit every setback your opponent suffers to your working, and every setback of your own to its failure. A written record, kept in plain language, is what keeps you honest about that. Write what happened, not what you hoped had happened.

When this is not the right work

Sometimes the right answer is not an adversarial working at all. If the situation is a legal matter, a safety matter, or a medical matter, deal with that matter in the ordinary world first, or at the same time. Ritual work is not a substitute for a lawyer, a doctor, or for leaving a dangerous situation. If you are unsure whether a working of this kind is appropriate, wait, ask a teacher you trust, or choose a simpler protective practice first and see how that sits.

It is also worth sitting with the question of proportion. Grimoire language is absolute — destroy enemies — and real situations rarely are. Ask yourself whether the outcome you are working towards is proportionate to what has actually happened, and whether you would still want it in a month's time, when the heat has gone out of the situation. If the answer is no, you have learned something important before doing anything, and that learning is itself part of the work.
